Description Finally done! stupid dagereotype(god i still can't spell it) project for digital photography. Degerotype was one of the first types of photos. The project was to either go with the stereotypical portrait style of the era or to make fun of it. Since in that era gender roles were insane i decided to mock them. I took my sisters high heels, and blouse/shirt thing(idk it was black so you can't even tell). I shoved them into my backpack and drove to an abandoned house(they have old furniture why not?) I ended up having to break in since they boarded up the inside of the door, and locked the door with a wire. Sadly this didn't prevent me from unwrapping the wire, opening the door, and sliding between the boards. The house was more trashed then the last time i saw it. I turned on some of the lights to make sure nobody was in the family room(yes the house still has electricity idk why) then went into the bedroom i knew had decent natural light, and old chairs. After i unburied a chair i realize it wouldn't work for the angle i wanted. I then went into the master bedroom and grabbed a chair buried in clothes, and other misc garbage, and brought it into the other room. I set up my camera on a random table, and started shooting. I realized that if i was going to show off the heels i had to ditch the jeans. So i took some shots just wearing boxers. Shortly after i was done shooting i packed up, and walked out the sliding glass door(all the doors/windows are boarded up but a sliding glass door is intact and unblocked? weird) When i was working on the image in photoshop i remembered that i had to show this to the class. I don't want everyone to see me in boxers so i just shopped on a random skirt i got from google.

Why did you read that? I mean its a totally awesome story of my heroic deeds but still. You are weird.

TL;DR: Whatever. So here is a old looking picture of me in a suit, skirt(boxers), blouse, heels, in an abandoned house sitting in a corner staring at my pocket watch.

Yeah, if we have time we should.. Definitely plan to go out to dinner one night when I'm home.. It might be after work or something, but we have to go out to dinner one night. I miss you. Currently my plans for thanksgiving look pretty darn hectic.. But I'm definitely making time for dinner with you and some time with the girls.
